    Went to midtown cafe last night with friends. Honestly, none of us had been there in years but that was our mistake. The food and service was fabulous! We had the Brussels sprouts, tuna, pork chop, grouper and coconut cake to make a few items and they did not disappoint. We were not rushed, in fact were told we could sit and talk if we wanted. Had a nice quiet table in the back like I requested. Will definitely go back!

    The Midtown cafe is a quaint and cozy spot. The shrimp and smoked Gouda grits were amazing. We also had the florentine omelet which was very tasty.
